    147gr Hornady XTP

    I checked my chronograph data. I've loaded 147gr XTPs with 4 different powders. According to my notes, I liked Power Pistol the best. It was right at 1000FPS out of a G-19. But I primarily shoot them out of a carbine. (no chrono data) I've taken coyotes with them at 40-50 yards. With that...

    Win 296 for 357 mag

    I use 296 / H110 occasionally. Sometimes you just need that big full house bang in a handgun. But I really love them in my Henry rifle. Now that's music! I've found that I like Power Pistol as a good compromise between power and accuracy in a handgun.

    To load or not to load...9mm

    I load a lot of 9mm. After many different powder / bullet combos, I've hit on a load that I absolutely love to shoot. I order most of my components online, and my shooting areas are the opposite direction of any store that carries ammo. So it just works for me.

    Beginner Reloading

    Lots of great info already posted above, so I will just add one thing. For once fired brass, I've gotten some screamin' deals on Etsy.

    Modern Day Sears Catalog

    I got mine last night. I was going through all of the junk mail from the last few days, and the Midway reloading catalog was the only thing I kept. I flipped through it for a few minutes, and set it on the counter. It will probably sit there for a few weeks before someone gets tired of seeing...

    My head is spinning...

    I also have a 20" big boy. My favorite hunting loads are 140 GR. XTPs with H110 / W296, at just under 2000 FPS. For target / plinking / steel, I've tried a lot of different combos and really like 158 GR. HSM flat points with Power Pistol, or Unique. Although I think I'm going to try out some...

    Question about drying my brass

    I wash my brass with cartridge case cleaner and hot water, in a sealed container. I let it sit for about 5 minutes, and then shake it for a few minutes. I then dump it into a media separator, and rinse with hot water. After most of the water has drained, I use a hair dryer, and turn frequently...

    38 Special practice loads

    I looked through my data. Of the powders you listed, 3.5 Grains of titegroup was an accurate, light plinking load according to my notes. I did not Chrono them though. I would guess low 700s out of a snubbie.

    Sell or throw away inherited brass, primers, powder, etc?

    I wouldn't sell any of it. I hung onto my dad's equipment / supplies for 10 years before I got into hand loading. I'm so glad I did, because everything works flawlessly. He had a lot of hand written recipes, detailed instructions, spare parts for the Dillon, and a home made tumbler that I still...

    Gun Belt for CCW

    I've tried several leather and bull hide gun belts. About 6 months ago I got a Kore gun belt, and couldn't be happier. I wear it every day, and it still looks like new. https://www.koreessentials.com/

    P365 or Glock 43

    I have shot both several times, and prefer the 43 over the P365. Ameriglos, with a Pierce +1 grip extension is perfect for me.
